Fruit bowls

I found a nice large fruit bowl in a local shop. I keep some fruit in the fridge but others in the bowl. Not really a problem.

I use a small bowl in which I put as much fruit that i will eat in 2days the rest in the fridge it keeps so much longer. Bananas kept separate from everything else.

Same as Tanith

I keep apples in a fruit bowl and everything else in the fridge apart from bananas.

We have grapes in a bowl on the kitchen table for nibbling. Bananas on a tree and the rest in the fridge.

Dunelm had some nice fruit bowls also Home Bargins and B&M

I use a glass trifle dish, and have a banana hanger. Suggest asking in the charity shops

I started putting bananas in the fridge and they are perfectly fine. The skins go black but the fruit is actually unchanged. I too put enough fruit for a couple of days and the rest goes in the fridge.

Charity shops often have lots of them

I use a 2 tier cake stand so it keeps it somewhat separated

I keep berries and soft fruit in the fridge. Apples, pears, bananas and tangerines in a fruit bowl. I use a woven metal one which holds all the fruit but because it’s a semi open bottom allows air to circulate so fruit lasts longer. Not sure where it came from as my daughter bought it

I had a beautiful crystal fruit bowl - now where on earth is it 🤔

We use a big basin.

My grandparents lovely set, pitcher broke, their basin is on our worktop.

FranP - I too use a glass trifle dish and put bananas separate. I dropped a bag of clothes at charity shop this morning and there were several glass trifle dishes.

We have 2 beautiful turned wooden ones. Must be at least 30 years old but can't remember where they came from. Same as everyone else bananas in one bowl and a couple of days of mixed fruits in the other. Soft fruit stays in the fridge. We used to have a banana hanger too which was better I think until it somehow got broken!

usually a wooden bowl or glass bowl in our house but things like bananas and grapes were a luxury so it was mainly just oranges and apples. There were always big Jaffa oranges never small tangerines they seem to appear later and some were wrapped in paper, getting a tangerine in paper seemed to be like winning the lottery in our family! The apples were bought in a big box and kept chilled over winter just putting out the few in the fruit bowl I like fruit bowls the smell from them is really nice

I have a very large Italian pottery bowl on a kitchen work surface that has all sorts in it; ripening avocados and peppers aubergines, lemons, grapefruit, tomatoes and nectarines at the moment with a small pottery bowl with holes in for grapes. In the lounge a smaller one with apples, oranges and tangerines. I keep soft fruit in the fridge. We eat a lot of fruit in this house!

Only have fruit that needs a bit of ripening in a bowl and enough for a couple of days. Bananas on a hook. If I have strawberries they are kept out of fridge during the day as I don't enjoy them chilled.

We have a large wide Portmeirion dish for a fruitbowl, you can get a lot in it with air all around each fruit.

I have loads of fruit bowls for sale on line please see photos

Mine is from Amazon and has a banana hook above it to keep them separate. Mine is plenty big enough. I'm in UK

How do you manage with the problem of fruit flies? We have a lovely fruit bowl but have to keep all of the fruit in the fridge or the kitchen is soon seething with them. They seem immune to fly spray too. I am convinced that in the event of a nuclear holocaust, there would be clouds of fruit flies completely untouched!

My Daughter in law had a problem with these. They used some citronella candles in the room and it seemed to get rid of them.

I use this long dish. The fruit can be more spread out, instead of ‘ piled up ‘.
